Talk:Halo: The Television Series

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Jenny (first appearance)[edit]

We got a source on this? As far as I can tell in the page nothing directly mentions this character's existence.BaconShelf (talk) 15:40, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

Name[edit]

This article's name is still based on what we were shown when the TV show was announced. The official name seems to just be Halo on Showtime.[1]TheEld (talk) 18:47, April 17, 2019 (EDT)TheEld

Note that is the normal naming conventions for the Showtime twitters "Name of show on Showtime". Dexter isnt called "Dexter on Showtime", yet its Twitter is named as such. Just something to be aware about.-CIA391 (talk) 18:57, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
Ah. So should we just name this page "Halo (Showtime)"?
Nah, Halo: the Television Series is the official name we have until otherwise stated. I'd say there's no reason to change.BaconShelf (talk) 19:15, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
Yea, nothing suggests the name has changed, or if Showtime is even using "Halo: The Television Series" as a name. Its kinda limbo atm. But hey ho, as "Halo: The Television Series" is an official name it is the best we have till as BaconShelf said "otherwise stated".

Continuity[edit]

Is this in the same continuity as the games, books, & comics? --212.102.45.8 20:49, January 14, 2021 (EST)

The exact details of this are unknown.BaconShelf - The Inners Will Never See Them Coming (talk) 02:21, January 15, 2021 (EST)
With everything that they're altering, I significantly doubt it. Namely the human "pet" of the Covenant and Miranda Keyes being a civilian doctor, despite this taking place during the Human-Covenant War.The Ragin Pagan (talk) 18:39, July 7, 2021 (EDT)

TV show won´r be canon to the games/books[edit]

So the canon will be completely separate from the main saga. How can I put the proper citations so Soren´s among other articles can be rectified? —This unsigned comment was made by Spartansecurity (talkcontribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

The TV show isn't canon to the primary universe, however flat-out calling it non-canon implies a level of irrelevance akin to how we'd describe the Odd One Out short from Legends - that is to say, it doesn't matter at all.
Rather, the TV show is considered as per 343 (here) as a part of what they call the "Silver timeline" - a separate canon that you could consider almost akin to the Fractures (albeit nowhere near as whacky) to account for slight changes in details from what is known in the expanded universe. Calling it non-canon isn't incorrect, but it's also a bit too general a term for this situation.
Currently, we're discussing on the Discord how we can go about setting up a proper section of the site as to ensure Silver content can be properly documented and collected without interfering with the main site. Feel free to join if you're interested in helping out - it's something we're definitely going to need feedback and help on.
As for sourcing, you can find our referencing guide here.BaconShelf (talk) 04:43, January 25, 2022 (EST)

Why is this article written as if it has not come out yet?[edit]

Why's it written like that

who can edit it?? they need to. this page is very broken and incorrect

 - oofrobloxia on xbox
The page is written as future-tense largely because it was written before the show came out, and no one has gotten around to updating it yet. The page is locked to anonymous users to prevent vandalism, given the TV show had a less-than-popular reception and is the sort of page that would be likely to receive lots of it. If you make an account and then make 5 other edits to confirm the account, you should be able to edit it easily enough.BaconShelf (talk) 09:40, September 12, 2023 (EDT)
